Step-by-step explanation:

Using a sharp knife, trim off a portion of the stem's bottom, and remove the leaves that would end up below the water line. Take great care not to scuff or pinch flower stems. Damaged stem tissue significantly reduces flower performance by inhibiting water absorption. Scissors are never recommended for cutting flowers.
